Our sympathy, love and concern go out to you Bruce, Judy and Sheila. Your father was a quiet man, but helped us many times when we needed it. Tolerated our children when they visited, which was often whenever they could bribe someone to take them. He was good to Grandma and even though his words were few, they were meaningful. He will be missed. Please know we are here for you anytime, anywhere. You are all very, very special to us.
Love, Aunt Lucy & Uncle Sam
